New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie suggested that Vice President JD Vance should have been sold by his mother in exchange for drugs in a series of tongue-in-cheek posts on social media this week.

Bouie was calling out Vance and criticizing him for not apologizing to 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti's family after ICE agents fatally shot him in Minneapolis last month, Fox News reported. Vance had accused Pretti of "ill intent" when he arrived at the scene of a protest before agents attacked and killed him.

Bouie made it clear that he disagreed with Vance's comments and laid into the vice president in a series of Bluesky posts.

"[T]his is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway," Bouie wrote.

"[I] can’t imagine a parent who wouldn’t sell little JD for percocet if they knew he would turn out like this," Bouie wrote.

[T]o be a bit serious one irony of Vance’s life is that he is also an addict: addicted to power and clearly willing to sell anything to get it," Bouie added.

Vance's mother has been sober for 10 years, which Fox News pointed out, adding that Vance held a celebration to honor her accomplishment.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
